Germany's Flender Releases Wind Turbine Generators Above 10MW with Power Density up to 700W/kg

en.Wedoany.com Reported - German drive equipment manufacturer Flender, during WindEnergy Hamburg 2026, officially released its new-generation GENERA wind turbine generator platform under its wind power brand Winergy. The platform is designed for large onshore and offshore wind turbines, with a validated design power density of up to 700W/kg, an increase of approximately 10% over the previous generation and comparable solutions, while reducing generator length by approximately 25%.

GENERA adopts a modular design that can be configured for different wind turbine projects and covers power ratings above 10MW. Flender states that even when entering large wind turbine applications above 10MW, GENERA can still maintain a relatively compact form factor, allowing the complete turbine to continue to meet the conditions for transport by standard trucks and containers, reducing the complexity of large generators in manufacturing, transportation, and nacelle integration.

The platform is based on the doubly-fed asynchronous generator technology route, does not use permanent magnets or rare earth materials, and the windings can be selected from aluminum or copper according to project requirements. Compared with the previous generation, its noise emissions are reduced by approximately 6dB(A); at the same time, the external cooling fan is eliminated, reducing the auxiliary power consumption of the cooling system itself, thereby increasing the annual energy production of the wind turbine.

GENERA can also form a complete drivetrain with Winergy's new-generation REVO gearbox and Flender wind power couplings, and connect to the AIQ condition monitoring system to monitor the operating status of the main bearing, gearbox, coupling, and generator. The product form released by Flender this time is not a single fixed-specification model, but a validated generator design and technology platform that can be configured according to different wind turbine power ratings, nacelle space, and drivetrain requirements.
